Hi families,

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving break and the wonderful examples of Earth's rotation and revolution in our weather. As we return to school we will begin with a small review of our previous discussions, and then move into our next focus - the moon.

This week we will discuss the moon's orbit of the Earth. Why do we see different shapes of the moon? How can we recognize a pattern? Why are there times when the moon blocks out the sun? Why are there times when the Earth blocks out the moon?

Ah, the beauty of science 🙂
